twototango Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Hi ashkh1, my name is Stephanie and I'm a current first year student at UC! I'm so happy you decided to apply! I spoke with Pam (the admission coordinator), and she informed me that she has already started sending out interview invitations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twototango Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thank you! Do you have any advice for the interviews? Just know that once you are invited for an interview, the program won't focus on grades or anything like that at the interview. It means we believe and know you are qualified! Once you get here, just make sure you focus on letting your personality shine :) We just want to get to know you! I stayed at Four Points Sheraton (last year UC was able to get a discounted rate for interview candidates. Let me ask about that!) It was great because there was a free shuttle that took me from and to the airport as well as school. Try your best not to stress out and relax. That way the program can see how you are as a person. I remember last year I met up with a couple interview candidates before my interview and it was so nice to decompress. No one will understand your struggles and dreams the way they will! Ask as many questions as you want. You're interviewing us just as much as we are interviewing you! We don't mind answering anything. Feel free to message me if you have any other questions!

u0768001 Posted May 22, 2017 Share Posted May 22, 2017 Thanks for the information! Are there any specific questions we should prepare for with the interviews? What do the mini interviews consist of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twototango Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Thanks for the information! Are there any specific questions we should prepare for with the interviews? What do the mini interviews consist of? Can't tell you anything specifically ;) Just know there shouldn't be any curve balls. Prepare as you would for any interview. Know your attributes well enough to talk about yourself and your experiences. The MMI's will be pretty standard as well. When I interviewed, I looked up examples of MMI scenarios/questions just so I could get an idea of what it would be like. Pam will tell you more the day before! She gives some helpful tips and explains more on what to expect. Wish I could tell you more, but I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to share! You can always send an email to Pam or give her a call. She is so kind and very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldarmst Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Going to be sending in the supplemental app in the next day or two (gotta get my essays up to my liking, lol). This is my second time applying so I'm super anxious to get in somewhere. UC seems like an incredible program :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twototango Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Just wanted to let everyone know the program has continued "full" accreditation and that the class of 2017 just took their PANCE and as of right now 24/24 have passed! (Just waiting for 2 more to take their boards.) A 100% pass rate, just like the year before that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
